Sense8 Season 2: air date, Christmas special and more

It’s now been about a year and a half since Sense8 Season 1 premiered, so we’re hankering for some new episodes. There’s not too long to wait now though, as Netflix has recently announced that Season 2 will be landing on the streaming site on 5 May 2017.

But Netflix obviously presumed we’d be desperate by then, seeing as they are also offering up a two-hour Christmas Special to hold us over, which will be released on 23 December.

You can read the official, rather ambiguous synopsis for the Christmas Special here:

The journey continues as these eight singular hearts and minds weave in and out of each other’s lives finding deeper connections, learning darker, more desperate secrets about one another and struggling to identify with more than just oneself.
